متن کاملBronchial stump reinforcement in right pneumonectomy with fascia lata and gelatin resorcin formalin (GRF) glue: case report.
We reinforced the bronchial stump with fascia lata and Gelatin Resorcin Formalin (GRF) glue in a right pneumonectomy. This method was found to be simple and useful. We describe our case and the method herein. A 62-year-old woman had a malignant polypoid lesion which completely occluded the introitus of the right main bronchus and deviated to the introitus of the left main bronchus. Right pneumo...
متن کاملPericardial flap for bronchial stump coverage after extrapleural pneumonectomy; is it feasible?
Bronchial stump reinforcement with viable tissue after pneumonectomy is an important prophylactic measure against the development of bronchopleural fistula. We present our technique of utilizing the pericardium on the posterior wall of the left atrium as a flap to cover the bronchial stump after extrapleural pneumonectomy. From January 1999 to March 2008, we used this technique in 50 patients (...
متن کاملPostoperative bronchial stump fistula responding well to occlusion with metallic coils and fibrin glue via a tracheostomy: a case report.

On the 4th postoperative day, a massive air leak from the thoracic drain was noted. At that time, a diagnosis of bronchial stump fistula was made on the basis of the bronchoscopic findings. Continuous thoracic drainage, aspir...
